Hmm... I'm not sure this is a 'bug' inasmuch as it is an implementation decision that deserves revisting. With the minimal amount of work required to tweak existing splitter code, it seems to me this (support for single-character words, numbers) might be worth being the default, perhaps in Zope 2.5? Based on what I've seen, the change to isalnum() in the splitter would only work in Zope 2.3.x, as it looks like something slightly different is done to support numbers pre-pended with alpha characters in Zope 2.4, though I imagine the change to support digit-only words should be trivial?

I think I'd have to jump on the bandwagon and agree that numbers should not be stripped. I'll second the idea of a fish-bowl proposal.

I view that as a bug that could be put into the collector. It seems to be a question of changing isalpha() to isalphanum(), as somebody else here had noted. Then add any other considerations about and modification to the splitting process into the fishbowl process about fixing the pluggable splitter interface and stuff. Theres no need to have 10 different proposals about almost the same thing, right? _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
